Can't get it inspected and tagged until Friday. It's in my driveway taunting me while I take the last few spins in the hoopty.

Wanted to grab some 18x9's with 255/40's but it's going to make more sense to run the still usable stock tires for track days and have a set of something that can be driven in the rain we get around here.

Stock Dunlops are at maybe 4.5/32nds and with our rutted roads (which means standing rain water) they truly are not usable anymore in the wet. Plus these should be about right for how much gravel and dirt we drive on our roadtrips.

So I now have 225/55r17's on Sparco Terras for winter, stock setup for summer roadtrips to places with nicer roads and track days, and a good all season for Spring and Fall and trips where I keep the R in wRx.

Will post pics in a few weeks.

Traded in my VB, letting this sub know in case anyone is looking for a clean, well cared for stock SPT, it’s also CPO (only “mods” i did were wheels and tint)

Happy to post the link in comments if anyone in the WI area is looking! Thanks for the advice and assistance also during my time here, take care!

Bought my '23 limited trim used, are these spots in the trunk foam empty for your own tools, or are there tools that were supposed to be there? If they're missing, is it even worth trying to hunt down new ones, or just cram whatever of my own tools might fit in those spots lol

Fucking love this car. 2500kms in the first 10 days of ownership. Just got a little buddy for the dash today too

Does anyone by any chance know what brand these rims are ?

While wildly expensive (I paid $181.32 USD each) the Subaru JDM rear seat low profile headrests make a substantial difference to field of view through the rearview mirror.

I got the leather clad ones with red stitching to match my 2023 Sport-Tech interior. I’m happy with them, and makes my car just a little bit unique.

Is it just the base vb that the sound system is cheeks? I'm thinking about putting two 8's but kinda worried about the trunk rattle. Anyone what put in a sound system in their vb could you tell me what works. Thanks!

After 2 years of considering it, I’ve finally decided to get my dream car. Super excited but bitter sweet to be leaving my WRX.
Had a VA, then a 22 Audi s3, then my VB. Now picking up my 26 Nissan Z performance next week (hopefully keeping this for a while lol)
Sad I can’t subie wave anyone again but I’ll always be a subie man at heart
Picture of my VB and new car!

Looking to add a little loudness to my 2026 Wrx Ts . I enjoy the sound of the cold start.
I pulled up to my buddies house the other day and they said “oh, I didn’t even hear you pull up”. Yep well that has to change.
Any suggestions?
(Or am I looking to get a cat back😅 to achieve the sound I’m looking for )

Anyone in here with a TR have any experience with lowering springs? I know we have slightly stiffer suspension and I do like it, but the last thing I want is to throw springs on and have it unbearably hard.
Considering coilovers but want to preserve the OEM suspension as much as I can and springs are a cheaper option as well.

Pic for attention

Purchased a Grille Assembly for a 2025 WRX Premium, along with the Grille Cap. Came pre-fitted with Subaru Emblem and red WRX Emblem. $228.80 for Grille Assembly, $19.61 for Grille Cap (USD).

For those looking for a less costly option than JDM versions to replace the grey coloured grille on the 2022 to 2024 models with one in black, this may be your solution.
